The Schedule referred t in these Letters Patent and part of the lame.

To all whomfit may concern:

Be it known that I, J AMES B. MORGAN, of Davenport, Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Holders or Fasteners; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and

'exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and the letters of reference marked thereon making part of lthis specification.

Figure 1 isa perspective view, showing the holder attached to a window-,sash

Figure 2 is an end view.

Figure 3 is a sectionalview of the axle and wheel.

Figures/1 and 5 are details. 'lhe object of my invention is to provide a means of Aholding awindow-sash at any desirable/height.

It consists of a metal frame or case, B, having an inclined slot, O, in each of its sides.

A small wheel, D, covered with rnbberor any other suitablev material, revolves within this case upon an axle, F, resting in the bottom of the slot O. 'lhe axle is providedwith a square shoulder, d, iig. 4, tting into a corresponding countersink,`d, iig. 5.

The appliance is to be .let into the right-hand end of the window-sash, the end Of the axle F projecting toward the operator.

When the window is down the rubber band on the wheel will'press lightlyT against the window-frame.

The axle, being pushed in so far that the square shoulder will it into the countersink of the Wheel, revolves in the bottom of the slot when the window is raised; but as soon as the operatorlets go the window the wheel revolves in-a contrary directionand the axle is carried upward in the inclined slot, thus and the window will come down easily.v

I do not claim the oblique slot, nor the use of the roller or wheel; but y AI do claim as of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The shifting-axle F, with shoulder d, fitting a cor-,y

responding` countersink, d, in vthe wheel or roller, in combination with the oblique or inclined slot, sub'- staut-ially as shown and described, and for the pur- Q poses set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two wit- IleSSeS- JAMES B. MORGAN.
